Project 2021:

SAME/Difference 2 'The Hearth'

The SAME/Difference project examines the concept of identity, belonging, home, diversity and peace-building, through creative writing and imagery. We have been keen to include people from minority ethnic groups whose first language is other than English and our experienced team of artists supported the group to express creatively both the challenges and enriching perspective of life in a ‘new ground’ and the lived-experience of  ‘home’.

Project 2021:

‘Entity / Spéirbhean’

New short film: Entity / Spéirbhean

‘Entity / Spéirbhean’ is a cross-artform short film, bringing together spoken word (Máire Zepf), dance (Clara Kerr) and film (Jo Guthrie). The collaboration takes a fresh look at how women inhabit their bodies across the span of their lives and is a celebration of the beauty of female resilience.
In Irish with subtitles.

NEW POETRY JUKEBOX CURATION

Curation Title: Star Gazing

Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,

In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,

Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

From 'When I Heard the Learned Astronomer' by Walt Whitman.

This edition of poems for Poetry Jukebox is curated by poets Iggy McGovern & Maria McManus. The curation explores poems that connect with any aspect of star gazing, from constellations to comets, from stardust to space shuttles, from Dark Matter to Darth Vader, from Black Holes to Mission Control …
